If you're remotely concerned with truth and the real world read below to understand the MYTH of the congressional exemption.

So just because I disagree with your position makes me a troll eh? Nice. Anyway I did do some more research on it and admit that I'm not entirely correct on the exemption, however, don't appear to be entirely incorrect either. It seems that congressman and congressional staffers did have the
rules tweaked for them. So really I guess the GOP bill then is just taking away this extra little benefit that congressmen and congressional staffers are getting.
The bigger issue that I see though is that the employer mandate is delayed and the individual mandate isn't. The law was passed with the timelines by a Democrat controlled congress, Democrat controlled Senate, and Democratic president, so why delay a portion of the bill for employers only now when it's the very same bill he signed in the first place?
